And by next week at this time Klinsy will have announced his first USA roster, for a game that is happening in 12 days.

The German press are speculating that he will hire his former Bayern Munich assistant Martin Vasquez to work with him. Vasquez was head coach for one season at Chivas USA last year and is currently the director of the Real Salt Lake youth academy in Arizona.

FC Dallas played in El Salvador last night, but had their flight home canceled today. Coincidence?-Should Alianza expect retribution next week when they come to the USA? I should hope so!!! Hahahaha. Am I joking?
